To all whom it may concern: i f

The primary object of this inventioniis to provide a brick-pallet which will lessen the liability of damage to the bricks in lacing and removing the trays on or from raci driercars or other rests upon which the brick-pal- 'lets may be located.

A further object is to provide an'ev'en bearing-surface, so as to prevent any strain'upon .the bricks to crack.

the pallet which might tend to affect its surface or destroy the levelness thereof or cause The invention will be hereinafter fully s et forth, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawin s, Figure 1 is a view in perspective ol' my pre erred 'form of pallet. Fig. 2 shows a slight modification of the form of pallet shown in Fig. 1. l Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the pallet, which is composed of sheet metal,

which by reason of the fact that an even hearing-surface is obtained at both sides and both ends of the pallet may be made of much lighter material than heretofore.

According to the form shown in Fig. 1, the edges of the sides 2 and ends 3 of the allet' are rolled downwardly and inwardy to strengthen the pallet and prevent it from getting out of shape and at the same time per. mit ol the easy handling thereof Without danger ol' injury to the hands of the operator. It will be noted that according to the form.

sh'own in Fig. l the ends of the rolled edges.

'trays is entirel seen that a soli su port is-had for the pallet of the sides- 2 are carried out to the plane of the rolled ed es of the lends 3, so as to provide an even sur ace and prevent any angles or vshoulders which 'could catchY on an angle or projection of a rack. Of course t e ends of the sides 2 stop short of the planes of the ends 3, as shown in Fig. 2. In this arrangement the'ends 3 are extended out to the planes of the edges of the sides 2'.

The advantages of my invention will be apparent'. It will be seen that a pallet constructed yin accordance therewith will retain an `even level surface, will not be liable to4 hurt the hands of an operator, and' the chances of injuring the bricks by the pallets engaging with angles or projections of the overcome. It-will also be the full l'ength'an lwidth thereof, therebv adding greatly to the strength and durability of the to the .ricks located thereon.

I claim asmy invention- 1. lA brick-pallet havin'- both allet and lessening liability of damage of its sides and bothv ends-correspondingly bent downy Wardly, Athe ends of'onef set of the down- ,warlly-bent portions being extended to the plane of the other set of downwardly-bent portions. n 2. A brick-pallet having bothl of its sides 'and both' ends rolled downwardly to form corresponding bearing-surfaces for the pallet, the ends of one set of downwardly-rolled portions being-extended to the plane of the other set of downwardly-rolled portions. I.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. FRANK BENTLEY.
